Of the expedition being satisfactorily ae-
complshed- is, TO find out what they were
doing and what forces they hRd-we fell back
about a mile and went into camp on a large
plantation.
Here comes in the funny part of it, The
writer had made a contract TO furnish party
in Alexandria with jacks, and thinking there
might be one at the barn, began TO take OBJ
servstions. Sure enough found a long-eared
animal, but on my attempting to 60 by him to
unite him, he let fly one Of his slippers and
come very near taking of one of my shins !;
but $50 piece for jacks was too good TO give il
up without another struggle. So crawled up
over the stall and came down in front Of his
lordsbip. He reared back, and the way that
rope halter cracked was a caution. Ii was get
ting so dark i could hardly see him, but
managed TO get him loose and led him out. He
went nice until he espied the horses tied 10 the
picket-line when he threw up his head and
gave one of those bTays that sounded like a
steamboat whistle. lie started OH run. but
held on, for i was thinking Of that $50 and the
luxuries j could get when We got 10 New Or

have been writing this. Into the picket-line
he went like a shot out Of l00-ton gun. 1t
took about one hour Of solid clubbing TO get
him started, and where be went only the
pickets can tell, for if there was one shot fred
al him that night there must have been 90. We
expected every minute 10 be attacked, but the
next morning we found il was our long-eared
jack that was making the grand rounds. We
returned TO Alexandria the next day, but, ] am

SUFFERING WOMANHOOD,

Too much effort cannot be made to bring to
the attention of suffering womanhood the great
value of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound as a remedy for the diseases of women.
Such an one is the wife of General Barringer of
Winston, N c., aud We quote from the Gener-
ais letter as follows: "Dear Mrs. Pinkham /:
Please allow me to add my testimony to the
most excellent medicinal qualities of your Veg
etable Compound. Mrs Barringer was treated
for several years for what the physician called
Leucorrh9a and Prolspsus Uteri combined l
sent her 10 Richmond, Va, where she remained
for six months under the treatment of an emil
nent Physician without any permanent benefit.
She was induced to try your medicine, and after
a reasonable time commenced to improve and
is now able to attend to her business and con-
siders herself fully relisred. General Barrin-

Riddle after quoting the decision says that It left
an important point uncovered, which he will de-
velop when he replies to the court, as he has .
right to- He also said that the court did not order
the mandamus to issue. He spoke OF the evident
reluctance OF the court TO render adverse opin-
ion, and advises the Commissioner II

other unregistered plumbers, and the necessary
order was maize BY the Comm ssoners to-day.
The only plumbers to whom permits are given are
those whose names are contained in the LIST passed
BY the examining board.
The point which MT. RiddleI believes that the
court did not uncover Is this: Under the law he
thinks 1t is q matter OF judgment or discretion
with the Commissioners whether or not they will
grant permit to q certain man TO open a street.
Unless they had rule they would have TO investi-
gate every application to see II the person apply

asked. Therefore, what difference does 1t make
whether a special inquiry Is made In every case,
or an examination prior 10 the time that the APP
plicatiOn is made. The law directs that no permit
shall be issued TO any other than bonded and
registered plumber.

reviewed the well-knOwn frauds, such as sanding
the sugar, the placing Of chickOry In coffee, and
the sale OF OleOnargartne as butter.
On motion OF G. O'Donnell. OF Pittsburg, reso-
lutions were adopted declaring that ''the trunk

tail merchants from cho sing IN what market he
shall buy his goods, and tends TO limit cOmpe-
